Take the hardest rocking parts of JET and Turbonegro, throw in a dash of punk rock flair, mix it all up and you get the Towers of London. The aggression is strongly reminiscent of Appetite era Guns n Roses. Some may find the G-n-R reference to be perhaps too high praise; I feel that it is the best comparison that can be made. The only fault I can find with the record is that I think it could've been mixed differently. Placing the acoustic version of F**k It Up, mid album throws the pace off a little bit (not enough, however to justify removing a star). Also, there is no power ballad, a la Sweet Child.
Overall this album is AWESOME, and eminently worthy of any respectable CD collection. If you've been searching for a new kick a** old school guitar rock album, this is it. If it isn't multi-platinum by the year's end then there is a major problem with the world.

This album rocks. The band blends a variety of styles together, such as: 80's metal, glam rock, 70's english punk, and little Buck Cherry flair. The vocals are an essential part of the songs, mixing well with the galloping guitars, and the fast 'n' heavy beats. The tunes are extrememly catchy, and the urge to sing along can not be resisted. My favorites on this album are; Air Guitar, F**k It Up(Acoustic Version), and Son Of A Preacher. If you love Rock 'n' Roll buy this album.

This is like a bad Hanoi Rocks, they add nothing to what we have all ready heard. Stick to the masters of the Hair Metal band. This band is just repesting what has been heard for the last 30 years, how long can we beat this dead horse. Been there, heard that. Move on.

Agressive, sexual, dirty , authentic! It's not often today you find a band that's not a lame copy of every other bands. Towers sounds like a cross between the sex pistols and guns n roses ! So orignal , so fun. The cd features so many great songs . Listen to towers if your a fan of rock and roll . And hate everything on the radio.

Purchased this from Amazon after being unable to find it locally and being quoted $30-$40 Aussie for my local CD shop to import it.
Tried the trusty Google, found Amazon, had my CD from the other side of the planet for a total cost of $15 Aussie.
Very Happy Chappy.

I can't remember the last time I had this much fun listening to a new CD ... over & over & over & over again. Towers have heart, balls, spirit & talent for writing catchy, high-powered tunes that will drive themselves right into your head where, once arrived, they will happily take up residency. Their debut, Blood Sweat & Towers, is a legendary addition to annals of glam-punk sleaze. If this music doesn't make you feel good, you are very probably dead.

This is a nice album. Not a must but a nice to have. Some of the songs are good.
